DAY 0 - Morning

[islandiastaff]

[Good morning, contestants!

One moment, you were receiving a mysterious envelope marked "Greetings from Islandia". The next moment, you're waking up on a beach.

Twenty-four people are scattered across the sands of a beautiful tropical beach, all somewhere in the middle of waking up. To your right, a sunrise over a gentle sea. To your left, dense, vibrant jungle.

There are two signs of civilization here! One is a shipwreck, about half of a good-sized ship emerging morosely from the waves. The other is a wooden sign at the edge of the jungle, showing simply an arrow pointing deeper into the island. Looking a bit closer, there is a narrow but well-maintained path into the jungle.

Welcome to Islandia!]

Not yet! But I'm going to figure it out with science!

[life_is_megas_wonderful]

Maybe you oughta look at the envelope first?

[skyentist]

Good idea! I'll do it!

[life_is_megas_wonderful]

Lemme know how that works out!

[skyentist]

[So she reads and...]

!!!

Scientifically speaking... we're probably on Islandia?

[life_is_megas_wonderful]

That's what I'm thinking! Dunno where Islandia is, but it looks nice!

[skyentist]

Hm. It looks like we're in a tropical climate zone.

[life_is_megas_wonderful]

Definitely seems that way! But do you think it's around the Americas, or around Indonesia, or what?

[skyentist]

Hmmm. That's harder to tell during the day. Maybe when it's night we can look at the stars and scientifically deduce our location based on them?
